We all know that the wooden houses of the past, those may still survived on older kampung barus and Malay kampungs left a lot to be desired in the modern age.
I wondered if any of you know of any example of wooden house of modern design still being build in Malaysia?

Is it still viable?
And is it true that wooden house is more expensive to build than their concrete counterpart?

In brunei I had a friend whose dad works for gov, so they are staying in gov provided wooden house (modern wooden house).

I changed my opinion of wooden house since then. The base construction is lifted half a metre from the ground, not sure if that makes the difference.

But it's cool even during sunny day. But electricity cheap in Brunei so maybe something else going on (aircon on 24hour)?
